Power Move Flex Results for 18th Jan, 12:00AM to 01:00AM

I have two questions:

  1. 18th Jan, 12:00AM to 01:00AM - Surely this time period is nonsense? Was it supposed to be 00:00AM to 01:00AM ie. midnight to 1am or 12:00AM to 01:00PM ie. first hour of the afternoon. I assumed it meant the first hour of the afternoon.
     
  2. If it was the first hour of the afternoon when I had my washing machine and dishwasher going, then I shifted at least 1kWh over my normal usage so should have received £0.15 instead of £0.00.

Can someone confirm what is going on.

 

Thanks

    Event timings confirmed by the team - midnight to 1am was the trigger.

    Your feedback has been sent to the team however, it’s on the official roadmap to make this a LOT more obvious.

    12 AM is midnight, or the beginning of a new day. In 24-hour time, 12 AM is written as 00:00.
    It always has been.
    The other one (middle of the day) is 12 noon or 12pm.

      At the risk of repeating myself (again!) - Surely it is not beyond the wit of OVO to stop using meaningless times and simply write Midnight to 1.00am or, as the case may be, Noon to 1.00pm.   This problem has been pointed out before but they don’t seem interested in fixing it - or perhaps they just don’t understand.

      It’s on the roadmap and will be fixed - I just can’t give a timescale.

        ​@DuncanL it’s not meaningless. 12am for midnight and 12pm for midday is a common practice. 00:00am - that format does not exist. 24 hour format doesn’t use am/pm part. When using 12 hour format, which is a common practice in the UK, it is 12am. But as ​@Blastoise186 said, it has been taken into account.

          12am is 12 hours before the meridiem (noon) which means it is midnight.  12pm means 12 hours after the meridiem (noon) which is also midnight.    If it is not meaningless to be using 12am and 12pm as “common practice” I don’t know what is.  I won’t hold my breath on OVO coming up with a sensible solution, which is a pity as they do most things well.

          I use 12am and 12pm in some stuff I manage and operate - you’ll be amazed just how much IT Admin stuff does so (and that’s just the start!). It’s not just OVO that does this. :)
